Candidate Testimonials

"You were absolutely the BEST career counselor that I have ever worked with in my 30 years in
business. You are a brilliant strategist when highlighting and matching experience with targeted
positions... and helping me learn about myself! I absolutely LOVED working with Nancy and having
her on my side!"

Tony D. Business Development Director,WPP-GREY, WINGLATINO

"Wow, Nancy, you blew me away. Thank you for all of your help. Nancy's talent and consulting on
careers, resume execution and management is unparalleled. Her coaching during my career transition
was key to my success in securing a marketing management position within a Fortune 500 company.
She has an intuitive art of translating and positioning candidates' qualifications into proper
strategic words, thus increased interviews ."

Lisa C. Technology Marketing Manager,HONEYWELL

Nancy found me! After 24 years in CPG marketing and sales, I have rarely been involved with a recruiter
because I chose never to move. Nancy gave me incredible insight to changes in my resume that got
immediate response. Nancy is an expert in her field and can help us "older" job seekers with great
support, insight and responsiveness. Nancy is a true professional.

Lisa Mack President,MACK/ASM

I recently worked with Nancy on a potential job search and was totally impressed. Nancy takes the time
to look beyond the obvious category fit, to truly understand the depth of a candidate's experience,
skill-set and personality. Her genuine concern is to make an ideal match for both parties. She gives
great advice and input prior to interviews, to help her candidates be their best. As a candidate myself,
I would highly recommend Nancy to other job seelers. But more importantly, as a client looking to fill an
opening, you can be confident that Nancy will bring you candidates with both the skills and personality
to be successful in your organization.

Lorrie Boone Account Planner,Freelance

Multiple offers is the best problem to have when you're in a
job search. And a trusted advisor is the best asset.

I talked with recruiters numbering in the double-digits, and
they all told me they had their ear to the ground, would help
me prepare for interviews and they wanted me to get the right
job, not just any job. But only Nancy delivered all those
things.

Nancy found and arranged interviews with quality companies to
match my skills, cultural and career path expectations. Then
she really prepared me about how to make the best impression on
the phone and in person.

And when the offers (yes, multiple) did come in, she gave me
her honest feedback on how each role may set me up for future
success. She never pushed and understood when I made decisions
based on my family and personal considerations too.

Simply put, Nancy actually seemed to give a damn about me
professionally and personally, and she delivered. I felt like
someone valued me! How many times can you say that about those
faceless recruiters who call you out of the blue, promising the
world. Thanks Nancy!

Dave Harris Account Supervisor,The Integer Group

Nancy has the uncanny ability to see the potential of the
individual and also assess the culture, reputation and
expectations of her executive search clients to match the right
people for the right posts. She cares unwaveringly about
meeting the objectives of her corporate clients and those of
the professionals she's built relationships with. She does so
tirelessly and with devotion to an industry she has helped to
build for decades.

Maria Lachapelle Senior VP,Mullen

Nancy is far and away the best executive recruiter that I have
worked with in my career. As a candidate I have often felt
that, to many of the recruiters with whom I have worked, I was
simply "available inventory" - treated with interest and
consideration only so long as I was in contention for an open
position.

From our very first interaction, I was impressed by Nancy's
willingness to form a relationship with me. She provided me
with perspective and guidance; she stays in touch and would
seek out my thoughts and recommendations on positions that she
was in the process of filling.

The result is that I would never consider engaging any other
recruiter to fill a position on my staff. I regularly encourage
past and current colleagues to introduce themselves to Nancy
when they begin to look for new opportunities.

I would heartily and unreservedly recommend Nancy Dolan-Brady
to anyone wishing to find a talented employee, or find a new
position for themselves.

Nancy is an incredible recruiter. Nancy was persistent and
pushed me to high standards throughout the hiring process from
resume through final interviews and negotiating offers. She is
well versed in several industries and spent a lot of time
helping me translate and apply my skills to that of another
industry. Another thing that makes her great, is the fact that
she is genuinely interested in my goals and family. I am very
fortunate to have met her and have this great new position. :)

Cristina Quintanilla-Smejkal Interactive Media
Manager,M&M Mars

Nancy Dolan-Brady is a true resource. Active, supportive, and
well-versed in her craft, Nancy does more than just find and
connect - she takes a vested interest in people and partners
them with organizations that fit.

Claudia Irving Business Development,Jack Morton Worldwide

Nancy was a big help to me when I was trying to find the next
opportunity in my career. She asked great questions and gave me
excellent advice on my resume and interviewing skills. She has
always been extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

Suzanne Harkness Former SVP Group Management
Supervisor,The Buntin Group

Nancy is one of the most knowledgeable and personable resources
I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Early in my career,
she mentored and counseled me on interviews, negotiations, and
general career advise. I would not be the executive that I am
today without her fantastic advise and deep industry knowledge.
Today Nancy is not only a personal mentor, but also a friend
and great lady to know!

Lauren Fulcher Senior Account Executive,Mullen

When senior marketing executives through my nationwide network
ask to recommend an executive recruiter that I trust, I always
recommend Nancy. Nancy has a remarkable ability to describe a
full picture of a candidate to a client and a full picture of
the job opening to a candidate. Her talents and skills are far
above that of a typical contingency recruiter and more like
that of someone at a top retained search firm.

Jim Siegel Program Director,Partnership for a Drug-Free America

I have known Nancy for over ten years and consider her to be a
valued consultant as well as a trusted friend. Her knowledge is
broad, her advice in-depth, she gives generously of her time,
and will provide access to others in her vast network who might
advance your cause should the opportunity present itself. I
find her to be smart, insightful, and compassionate and a
creative problem-solver. I always enjoy my conversations with
her and always benefit from her advice. She is always on the
top of my recommendation list.

I have known Nancy as a recruiter for over 15 years. She is
always highly professional and easy to work with. I would
highly recommend Nancy to both employers and job seekers.

Lynne Bresnahan-Schroeder Former Account
Supervisor,Doner

In a difficult industry, Nancy Dolan-Brady is the consummate
professional. Over the course of many years, Nancy has provided
support, guidance and an unequaled knowledge of the
marketing/advertising industry. Even when a recruiting
assignment was not in the immediate offing,

Nancy has graciously introduced me to her network of contacts
that genuinely cared about my situation and because of their
respect for Nancy, opened doors for me. Nancy's willingness to
'go the extra mile' for people endears her forever to a legion
of fans.

Having had a relationship with NDB Associates for 10+ years,
the communication offered, as well as the professionalism have
served me and my interests extremely well. Specifically,
details and follow-up are key strengths and the ability to
match my personality and qualifications with top-notch
prospective employers are always on on target and timely.

Mario Martinez Former Vice President Account
Director,Young & Rubicam

Nancy has the ability to provide companies with a recruiting
service that transcends a conventional fill-the-open-position
function. Her extensive marketing communications background and
deep knowledge of ad agency operations uniquely positions her
to respond with the most appropriate candidate. Nancy's talent
for carefully listening to both a company's and a candidates
needs means that she can always clearly articulate a match that
best suits both parties.

Nancy is far and away the best executive recruiter that I have
worked with in my career.

As a candidate I have often felt that, to many of the
recruiters with whom I have worked, I was simply "available
inventory" - treated with interest and consideration only so
long as I was in contention for an open position.

From our very first interaction, I was impressed by Nancy's
willingness to form a relationship with me. She provided me
with perspective and guidance, and would seek out my thoughts
and recommendations on positions that she was in the process of
filling. If I let more than a year pass without touching base
with her, she will reach out to me.

The result is that I would never consider engaging any other
recruiter to fill a position on my staff and I regularly
encourage past and current colleagues to introduce themselves
to Nancy when they begin to look for new opportunities. I would
heartily and unreservedly recommend Nancy Dolan-Brady to anyone
wishing to find a talented employee, or find a new position for
themselves.

Peter Risman Senior Vice President,Aspen Marketing

Nancy is a fabulous, creative, results-oriented partner. She is
very proactive and does a great job of communicating with you.
I highly recommend Nancy. I call her every time I have a
question about the market place for marketing pros. I recommend
her to my friends and colleagues when they are searching as she
is intelligent and knowledgeable and has great jobs at
companies people want to work for...which is so very important
in her sphere. What ever side of the hiring process you find
yourself on, Nancy is your best resource.

Jennifer Harkins Garone Privacy and Security
Leader,GE Finance

Nancy takes the time to know you - your objectives - and set a
strategy to assist recruits to not only find a position - but a
sustainable corporate relationship that will empower both the
company and the recruit, successfully.

Cheryl Munson Former Creative Director,Saatchi & Saatchi X

I have worked with NDB Associates for over 20 years. Nancy
Dolan-Brady represents the best in the executive recruitment
field. I would add the attribute of High Integrity if they had
allowed me to select 4 choices in the listing. She is the best.
I give my highest recommendation for the services she and her
company provide.

Nancy's talent and consulting on resume execution and management
is unparalleled. Her coaching during my career transition was
key to my success in securing a marketing management position
within a Fortune 500 company. She has an intuitive art of
translating and positioning candidates' qualifications into
proper strategic words and resume format, thus allowing for
increased probabilities in obtaining interviews
